The
Taborites (Czech
Táborité, singular
Táborita) were members of a religious community considered heretical by the
Catholic Church. The Taborites were centered on the
Bohemian city of
Tábor during the
Hussite Wars in the 15th century. The religious reform movement in Bohemia splintered into various religious sects. Besides the Taborites, these included the
Adamites,
Orebites,
Sirotcí ("Orphans"),
Utraquists and Praguers. Because the revolution's impetus came from the burning of
Jan Hus, for the purpose of simplicity many writers have put most of these sects under the umbrella term of "
Hussites".
